Genius Agent

Chapter 125 Qian Hao Confessed

"Well, there are no tailors there. I don't know who you're talking about."

The team member from Shanghai was clearly flustered. He wasn't sure if Lu Mingxuan was lying to him on purpose, so he could only bite the bullet and reply.

"Little Tail, you tell him."

Lu Mingxuan called over an ordinary police officer, Xiao Weiba, who was in his early twenties and looked very young.

"I'm from Dianhu. There's a tailor shop there. The old tailor's surname is Zhao, and he's very skilled."

"I'm asking you, you said you're from Dianhu, what's the name of the third-in-command of Dianhu, and what's his favorite food?"

Xiaoweiba asked, sweat beading on the forehead of the Shanghai team member. The other party really did have people from Dianhu, and they described it in such detail that it didn't seem like they were bluffing him.

"Give him a beating."

Lu Mingxuan immediately gave the order. He really didn't want to ask, but he couldn't not ask. This guy said that people from other places were not good, but insisted on saying Dianhu.

He was quite familiar with Dianhu Lake.

Lu Mingxuan's hometown is not far from Dianhu, so he is considered a fellow townsman there.

"I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything..."

Before long, the team member could not withstand the punishment and confessed.

He was from the Shanghai station of the Special Service and was an action team member. He was ordered to take action against Jiang Mushan, but he was ambushed as soon as he made his move, and all twelve of them suffered heavy losses.

Qian Hao was also implicated by him.

Qian Hao was a member of the intelligence team. He lay on the ground from the beginning, and he knew more about the situation.

There was nothing he could do. He didn't know if Qian Hao would be questioned. If Qian Hao confessed, and he hadn't said anything before, it probably wouldn't be as simple as just being tortured. These police officers could skin him alive.

He didn't know that Lu Mingxuan was one of his own, so the less he said, the better.

Just as Su Yuncheng had predicted, the person arrested was indeed an operative from the Shanghai station, but unfortunately, he confessed to too many things.

"Bring Qian Hao over here."

Lu Mingxuan immediately gave the order that not only these three people from the Shanghai station of the Special Service Department had been arrested, but also a member of the intelligence team.

That makes four.

Even saving one is difficult, let alone four.

Lu Mingxuan wasn't thinking too much about it right now. He just wanted to get through this hurdle first and see what the Special Service had to say later.

Anyway, saving the four of them won't be that easy.

Soon Qian Hao was brought in. Seeing the action team members who had been tortured and so many police officers, he immediately realized that the other party had betrayed him.

"Qian Hao, a member of the intelligence team at the Shanghai station of the Special Service, am I right?"

Lu Mingxuan didn't stand on ceremony with him, had him tied up, and asked directly.

"That's right, that's right, I confess."

Qian Hao was smart. He knew his identity had been exposed. Being stubborn would only make him suffer. He was an internal traitor, so he had no psychological burden when he surrendered.

Su Yuncheng's eyes twitched slightly. When Qian Hao replied, there was actually a hint of schadenfreude in his heart?

Everyone else has been arrested and taken to the police station, what chance does he have?

Qian Hao gave a very thorough account, explaining exactly how they investigated Jiang Mushan, who ordered them to act, how many people came, and who they were.

His testimony matches that of the previous person, and so far, it seems he is not lying.

Qian Hao was not lying, but Su Yuncheng sensed something was off about his emotions.

He said these things without any psychological burden or great fear, seemingly convinced that he would be fine.

His emotions also carried a hint of smug satisfaction at his successful scheme.

"I'm asking you, who knew about this before you took action?"

Su Yuncheng asked directly, as he had previously suspected that the operation at Shanghai Station had been leaked, which was why the Japanese were waiting for them here.

Qian Hao seemed upset, so Su Yuncheng went to ask him what was wrong.

Lu Mingxuan glanced at Su Yuncheng, not expecting Su Yuncheng to ask him directly.

"Brother Lu, I want to know more about the inside story of the Kuomintang."

Su Yuncheng said in a low voice, and Lu Mingxuan nodded without stopping him.

Su Yuncheng wasn't one of their people, but he was the person they needed most right now. They could go over and torture him without any problem, let alone question him.

"No, only some of us know."

Qian Hao panicked and immediately shook his head. Of course, someone knew, especially the people in the Special Higher Police.

This information earned him a reward of fifty silver dollars.

"Brother Lu, he's not telling the truth, let's hit him."

Su Yuncheng looked at Lu Mingxuan. This was not his place. He could explain by asking questions, but he definitely couldn't give orders directly.

The local police may not listen to him.

"Didn't you hear me? Call him!"

Lu Mingxuan rebuked him, but inwardly he was puzzled. What did it mean that he didn't tell the truth? Could it be that other people were arrested at the Shanghai station?

No, that shouldn't be the case. If it were true, the people from earlier would have all confessed.

Lu Mingxuan misunderstood. No one was arrested at the Shanghai station. Another intelligence team member, who was following behind, ran away immediately when the gunfight broke out, unlike Qian Hao, who came to the front of the car to signal the action team members.

He was indeed the only one arrested; no one else was.

"I've already said it, and I'm telling the truth."

Qian Hao screamed in agony, but dared not admit that he had betrayed intelligence. If he did, even if he could leave the police station, the Shanghai station would not let him go.

Even if he doesn't admit it, the people at Shanghai Station will still try to save him.

He makes that distinction very clearly.

Ten minutes later, the police officer administering the torture looked at Lu Mingxuan, while Lu Mingxuan looked at Su Yuncheng.

Knowing that Qian Hao was from Shanghai Station, the police officers didn't go all out. They knew they'd run into each other again, and they were all Chinese; they might need his help in the future.

Even if they don't need them, if they offend them too much, these spies will be unable to handle the retaliation.

These constables are just there to get paid, not to serve the country; they're all shrewd and calculating.

Su Yuncheng remained silent, while Lu Mingxuan turned to his subordinates: "Continue. Haven't you eaten?"

There was nothing that could be done; Su Yuncheng clearly didn't want to stop, and since he didn't want to stop, it was difficult to stop him.

Lu Mingxuan still needs Su Yuncheng to get past Dilang.

Su Yuncheng didn't speak because he didn't want to ask any more questions. He was also working for the Japanese and couldn't make his questions too obvious.

After Qian Hao brought it up himself, he even tried to stop him from continuing.

That's what he should be doing.

However, Qian Hao had to speak up and let everyone know that it was he who had betrayed the information.

"I'll talk, I'll talk, please stop hitting me."

Twenty minutes later, Qian Hao finally couldn't take it anymore. Although it was just whipping, every lash was burning with pain, making him feel like he was dying.

He didn't want to experience that feeling again.

"I told Kenji Kato of the Special Higher Police about this..."

"etc."

Su Yuncheng suddenly called out, looking at Lu Mingxuan: "Brother Lu, let's come out and talk."

"it is good."

Lu Mingxuan was in shock. What did Qian Hao mean? Did he betray the people at Shanghai Station? Were the Japanese the ones who attacked them?

If he betrayed the information, then this is how things happened today.

Lu Mingxuan was working secretly for the Special Service Department, and the Special Service Department would definitely reward him for reporting this intelligence.

Moreover, there's no need to worry about the Japanese finding out if it's reported.

There were quite a few people in the interrogation room, including members of the Shanghai branch of the Secret Service.

The team member who confessed was staring blankly at Qian Hao.

He couldn't withstand the torture and confessed, and Qian Hao also confessed. Their previous statements weren't anything special; they were both the same anyway, and they could explain it back home as a way to save their lives, saying they had no choice but to confess.

But what did Qian Hao just say?

He told Kato Kenji of the Special Higher Police about this.
